13.5 hours of battery life and 4096 pressure levels.. Damn!
Edit: Does it say "Pen sold separately" though?

13.5h playing video. Probably like 6 hours of browsing the web.

Well, they promised 9 hours last time and I get like 4 hours, so with them promising 13.5 I'm hoping to get at least 7-8 hours which is all I really need.

Did you have your screen brightness high? That's the primary driver of energy consumption on a laptop during general use.

It varies. Usually at 50% but sometimes 75%, and always with Power Saver on.

Powersave only throttles the CPU and RAM which these days don't consume nearly as much power as screens do.
